The dough was so thick I could barely stir in all the apples.

I wondered if I had misread an ingredient amount or if there was a mistake in the recipe.

Storing Tips

This cake ages well.

By “ages,” I mean one or two days.

But don’t just keep it for dessert.

This cake is ideal for a mid-morning or late-evening snack.
